Hi all. New to the forums, but I've been using Openelec for a few years on both an old Acer Revo and a barebones Foxconn that just bit the dust. I've been reading as much as possible about my different options for my requirements, and I've narrowed it down to a few options but I would appreciate any insight or thoughts that someone with some more knowledge can provide.
Here are my requirements:
-a device that can run Openelec
-able to play 3D MKV's
-Can handle 4K (at least 30hz)
If it were available, the WeTek Core seems great and relatively affordable. However, since it's not I've narrowed it down to 2 choices:
HP Chromebox CB1-014 - Haswell Intel Celeron processor 2995U
or
Dell Inspiron I3050-4427BLK - Intel Celeron J1800
The Chromebox is well regarded, but most people seem to use the ASUS model as opposed to this HP. The Dell seems like it would probably be easier to install Openelec on. Which one would perform better with Openelec?
